Potter Stewart doesn't get on TV much these days.
A while ago, when asked to define pornography (or, possibly it
was obscenity?) his response was something like, 'I can't define
it, but I know it when I see it'.
So, his expert supporters could conclude from this that Potter
Stewart was a just and righteous person who spoke the truth
with conviction.
Experts from the opposition, however, could infer that Potter
Stewart must've seen a lot of pornography in order to be such
an expert on distinguishing it.
The above merely to illustrate that experts in any persuasion
seldom agree on everything; if they did -- they couldn't be
contentious.
